Good movie!
This movie was a bit slow moving but one it picked up, it was intense. Mads Mikkelsen is a very good actor and not seen enough in movies, in my opinion. His performance here was great. There's plenty of blood and violence for any action fan. There's also more than a bit of sex and nudity. The characters were creative and the effects were great. Definitely doesn't hurt that Kathryn Winnick is in this one, either(no, she doesn't get nude but who cares, it's KW!)and she puts on a good performance, as well. Some parts of the story were predictable but it unfolded well and did have a couple pretty good twists. Overall, I'd recommend this one to any action fan, though it may be a bit dark for some and definitely not for the kids! Worth a watch!

Netflix and Chill
So I watched this movie for the first time a few weeks after being dumped by my first girlfriend, I was rebounding with this guy that I didn’t really like but he was hot and he wanted to make out with me so I was like, cool, let’s do that. So we go over to his place and he lets me pick the movie. I turn this baby on and we start making out after we get bored of reading the subtitles. After we’re done I go to the restroom and when I come back in the 11 minute long lesbian sex scene is happening before my eyes and I just sit down on the couch and take it in.
It’s iconic, highly recommended for any Netflix and Chill time regardless of the orientation of the couple/group.

Surprisingly sweet
I usually don't have much hope for original Netflix or Amazon Prime movies figuring if they were good a studio would have purchased them or they would have played in theatres; however, I thought this one was sweet. I do enjoy both Dakota Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen so I thought I would give it a try.
Two friends decide they want to have sex before going to college. Unfortunately, they decide on the same guy as their companion without telling the other. Relationships get complicated for sure.
Certainly not going to win any awards, but I thought the acting was solid all around including supporting performances by Ellen Barkin, Clark Gregg, Demi Moore and Richard Dreyfuss.
The dialogue was touching in spots and when things get complicated, you are really rooting for the friendship to ensure.

This book is definitely not for younger readers!! (Not that it should be, content-wise, but you never know, so I want to give a warning.) There are detailed sex scenes in this novel.
Docile was an interesting novel. I wasn't sure what to expect as I read it. Luckily, there was no strange twist at the end that ruined it. It followed the main story all the way through. It gave an interesting view of a medically futuristic program to help families pay off their debt. The program isn't without fault, and I, personally, wouldn't want to be a part of it, but in the story, many had no other choice. (Debtors' prison was the alternative.) It was a unique, yet realistic situation to read about. Money speaks loudly, and it definitely screams in this novel.

Low-octane drama set in (barely) swinging London. A young reporter becomes the mistress of a temperamental conductor (orchestra, not bus) - she knows it's a bad idea, he knows it's a bad idea, but hey, hormones, I guess. Sure enough, everyone ends up unhappy.
Good-looking but vacuous, a sort of Hampstead novel of a movie, with the personal issues of affluent Londoners raised to a level of towering significance. The whole thing is in such lethal good taste it sucks any potential life out of the story (on the other hand you can have fun playing guess-the-body-part during the slightly baffling sex scenes). Passes the time but very predictable; very early appearances by John Cleese and Derek Jacobi pique the interest. The music and theme song are considerably better than the rest of the film deserves.
